INTRODUCTION
The report has been prepared to order of the Polish Information and Foreign Investment Agency and is the next edition of the regional investment attractiveness reports. The reports have been published since 2008. They are the result of scientific research conducted since 2002 under the supervision of prof. H. Godlewska-Majkowska, Ph.D., full professor in the Warsaw School of Economics, in the Institute of Enterprise, Collegium of Business Administration of the Warsaw School of Economics. All the authors are the core members of a team that develops methodology of calculating regional investment attractiveness.
The report consists of a few parts. The first part includes the synthetic presentation of the voivodship’s economy, including social-economic potential of the voivodship and the level of economic development as well as economy structure. The most important socio-economic data, including information on investment attractiveness, is presented in a table. The first part of the report also presents the position of the voivodship compared to other Polish and European Union regions, paying special attention to the most important industries and high potential sectors.
The second part of the report presents internal diversification of voivodship’s investment attractiveness at the levels of counties (Polish: powiat) and communes (Polish: gmina). The results of the investment attractiveness calculations for the Lower Silesian voivodship’s territorial units can be compared to the other territorial units from all of the Polish regions as the calculations have been made for all of them.
In the third part of the report the main business environment institutions in the voivodship are presented, taking into consideration kinds of support which they offer to investors. This part also includes information on location of the Special Economic Zones (SEZs) in the voivodship and information on the results of their activities.
The report is completed with the Appendix including tables with comparisons of investment attractiveness indices for voivodship’s counties and communes. There is also some more detailed information in the Appendix concerning effects of functioning of the Special Economic Zones in the region.
There are two approaches to the investment attractiveness presented in this work. One of them is potential investment attractiveness, defined as a set of regional location advantages that influence achieving investors’ goals (such as costs of running a business, sales revenues, net return on investment and investment’s competitiveness).

Regional investment attractiveness 2015
Another approach is real investment attractiveness, defined as region’s ability to create investor’s satisfaction and influence absorption of financial and physical capital in form of investments. They can be measured by effectiveness of capital spending.1
Potential investment attractiveness indices in their simplified version (PAI1) measure the location-specific advantages of regions. They are calculated for territorial units of various levels of statistical division of the country (communes – Polish: gmina, counties – Polish: powiat, subregions, voivodships/regions). These indices refer to the whole national economy and to the selected sections: C – manufacturing industry, G – trade and repair, I – accommodation and catering, M – professional, scientific and technical services. These sections are the core of the national economy.
Besides, some indices are calculated only for the voivodships, on the basis of characteristics available only on the regional or macro-regional level which allows evaluating their investment attractiveness in a much broader context. These are PAI2 indices, which are calculated both from a general point of view and with reference to the above mentioned sections of the economy.
What is more, ranks of real investment attractiveness, which relates to the inflow of capital (in the form of investments) and the effects of investments considered from a point of view of productivity and returns on the outlays made, are used in this report. Real investment attractiveness can be calculated for voivodships, based on the statistical data available on the regional level.
The measurements in use are subject to annual review thanks to consulting them with foreign investor assistance institutions and direct contact to territorial self-government units as well as organizations of entrepreneurs. A description of methodological approach to measuring investment attractiveness of Polish regions, counties and communes can be found online on the website of the Institute of Enterprise at the Warsaw School of Economics (http://kolegia.sgh.waw.pl/pl/KNoP/struktura/IP/struktura/ZOB/), as well as in numerous scientific publications and expert opinions.

2. REGION’S RANK IN TERMS OF INVESTMENT ATTRACTIVENESS IN POLAND AND IN THE EUROPEAN UNION
Lower Silesian voivodship is characterised by a very high level of overall investment attractiveness, which is indicated by the high rank (class A) according to the main potential investment attractiveness indices calculated for the national economy, industry, trade and
9
Regional investment attractiveness 2015 repair. It also takes a very high position, when it comes to foreign investment inflows to Poland.
In 2013 Lower Silesian region took the 3rd place in Poland in terms of accumulated share capital in the companies with foreign capital participation (an 8.3% share of its total value in all voivodships).
Lower Silesia is also characterised by a high increase in its competitiveness in terms of foreign direct investments, which is reflected in the fact that in the years 2003-2013 its market share measured with the value of foreign capital in the above mentioned companies rose from 5.3% to 8.6%.
Based on the methodology prepared by the team of the Enterprise Institute while conducting statutory research in Collegium of Business Administration at the Warsaw School of Economics, calculations of European regions’ investment attractiveness have been made for three years. They are based on measurements of attractiveness of human resources, market and innovativeness.4 However, due to different methodology of research and variables taken into account for regions in Poland only and regions in the EU, the results of research are incomparable. This is because not all data are available for all the regions, e.g. data on infrastructure.
Based on the above-mentioned indices it can be stated that the voivodship is characterized by a relatively low class of investment attractiveness (class D), compared to the EU regions, taking 147th place of 270 regions, for whom the indices were calculated. Lower Silesia voivodship has a competitive advantage, when it comes to human capital, ranked class A, at the 30th place among all the EU regions.
It is worth mentioning that the voivodship is more attractive than EU regions such as:
in Austria: Burgenland, Niederösterreichś in Belgium: Prov. Hainaut, Prov. Limburg, Prov. Luxembourg; in Great Britain: Cornwall and Isles of Scilly, Cumbria, Dorset and Somerset, East Yorkshire and Northern Lincolnshire, Highlands and Islands, Lincolnshire, Tees Valley and Durham, West Wales and The Valleys; in Bulgaria: Severen tsentralen, Severoiztochen, Severozapaden, Yugoiztochen, Yuzhen tsentralen; in Czech Republic: Jihozápad, Moravskoslezsko, Severozápad, Strední Moravaś in Denmark: Sjællandś

3. INTERNAL DIVERSIFICATION OF REGIONAL INVESTMENT ATTRACTIVENESS
Investment attractiveness of the particular administrative units in the voivodship is the result of how investors assess conditions of conducting business that are important for them. These conditions include labour market, technical infrastructure, market and natural conditions.
Labour market assessment gives investor the information on opportunities to recruit the right employees for their companies and labour surpluses or shortages, which indirectly influences costs of hiring workers.
Technical infrastructure assessment allows entrepreneurs to plan their investments that need preparing of investment plot equipped with the basic technical elements such as water, gas and electric installations and environment protection equipment such as sewage farms.
11
Regional investment attractiveness 2015
Social infrastructure is rated as equipment of a place where the investment is to be located with facilities influencing citizens’ life quality and human resources development. These facilities provide the citizens with access to education, healthcare, sports and recreation facilities or information technologies such as Internet.
Market conditions informs on market absorptive power that means the number of potential customers and indirectly on their wealth that means ability to buy goods and services. Environment conditions were rated as they are a basic factor influencing tourism development and citizens’ life quality.
The composite assessment of all the above-mentioned elements in particular counties or communes shows spatial differentiation of investment attractiveness in the voivodship. What is more, calculations for particular sectors of economy are presented such as industry, trade and modern services connected with professional, scientific and technical activities are presented (Chart 1 and Chart 2). The distinguished locations presented on the map are marked with stars that indicate highest marks for the above-mentioned areas of conducting business.

4. VOIVODSHIP’S INSTITUTIONAL SUPPORT FOR INVESTORS AND ENTREPRENEURS
The development of business supporting institutions in a region is a vital component of its investment attractiveness. The institutions that support entrepreneurship, pro-investment solutions, research commercialization and enterprises’ innovativeness are of special importance.
4.1. BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT INSTITUTIONS
Among business environment institutions (excluding R&D institutions) that influence region’s economic development areŚ chambers of commerce, associations, business incubators, technology parks, technology transfer centres, consulting centres, financial institutions and development agencies.
